Abstract	The purpose of this article is to examine the level of emphasis placed on safety concepts and guidelines in "Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy" ("STEL") (ITEEA, 2020) in comparison to other current science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content area standards and frameworks. The authors who conducted this analysis have served on the National Science Teaching Association's (NSTA) Safety Advisory Board (SAB) for a number of years, authored safety white papers and research studies for both NSTA and International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA), served on a number of state and national standards-development committees, and have received extensive training in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations that pertain to general industry, including schools. The views and opinions expressed in this article are based on the authors' findings, academic preparation, and years of experience relative to STEM education safety and standards development. The overarching goal of this article is to raise awareness about the importance of incorporating safety in every STEM learning experience, which directly relates to explicitly embedding safety concepts and guidelines throughout standards and framework documents.
